Half Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies
While most cookie recipes make entirely too many cookies for a single household, this half batch recipe create the perfect amount for a quick treat!
Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour spoon and leveled
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 egg large
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Sift flour, salt, and baking soda. This step is important, do not scoop the flour-spoon it into the measuring cup and level it with a flat edge. Be sure to sift ingredients together, set aside.
- Cream butter and sugars. To soften butter from the fridge, microwave for 10 seconds while still in its wrapper. To cream ingredients, run mixer on speed two for at least 2 minutes. Mixture should be light and airy.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add vanilla and the egg. Mix on speed two until combined.
- While the mixer is running, slowly add dry ingredients. Since this is a half batch, you won't have much trouble adding all of it at once.
- Stir in chocolate chips.
- Drop by teaspoonfulls onto a non stick cookie sheet (I use silicone mats to keep from sticking or dirtying the pan). If you are making mini cookies, drop by half teaspoonfulls.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes for full sized cookies, and 6-8 minutes for half sized cookies. Cookies are done when golden brown on edges.
